    Combined barley

    I direct cut some spring barley here in NJ last month. Grain yield wasn't the best but not horrible. Was it short, though! One field I had to shave the ground like I was cutting soybeans. Straw wasn't worth the effort to try and bale (and that's the money part of barley around here. :()

    McCormick cultivator and planter

    I've heard that some farmers who were doing contour farming back then preferred the mid-mount planter over a drawn planter because it kept the row spacing more consistent while curving around the hills.

    Need help finding 1/2"-18 nuts for tie-rods of old hydraulic cylinder.

    Take it for what it's worth, but the machining doctor website says that M12-1.5 metric nuts will work on 1/2"-18 threads.

    Wagon running gear.

    If you want keep the springs but they end up tilting the bed too much, you could set steel tubing vertically under the stakes, down to the frame, to keep the springs from compressing. Drill holes in the tube to match the bolts in the stakes.

    Literature---1969 Oliver Better Farming Full Line Brochure. Pt 2 Farm Equipment

    I saw a Wetmore grinder blower that looked exactly like that Oliver 408 in a dairy farm liquidation sale junk row back around 2012. The little bit of paint left on it was an orangey color. It sticks in my mind because it's the only piece of Wetmore equipment I've ever seen in these parts.

    3pt 2 Bottom Moldboard Plow Identification

    It's all coming back to me now. I last plowed with a JD 416 3-point plow on an MF 65 27 years ago. Semi-mounteds since then.

    3pt 2 Bottom Moldboard Plow Identification

    That's a landing lever to do what Paul said. I don't recognize that plow. A 420 has a one-piece square box for the 'backbone' and a 209A is a truss-frame lacking that 'backbone'. People have been known to make a bottom from a manufacturer that still has readily available wear parts fit a plow...

    Seed boots for McCormick Seeder??

    You need to know exactly what model drill or have casting numbers on the boots in order to find the correct used parts. First place I'd try would by Fry's Machinery in Muncy PA. (570) 546-3968. There are some McCormick drill boots on eBay right now, too.

    What is going on with this cultivator?

    That part number on the clamp comes up in the Ford 406-series cultivator parts diagrams. I believe that cultivator was built for Ford by Pittsburgh Forgings. It looks like you've got all the same shank assemblies, but keep in mind that shanks are similar enough between some brands that mixing...

    John Deere #2 Fluffer Tines

    I just went to Deere parts website with my closest dealer selected, and that part number comes back as valid and available to order for delivery to the dealership. So I, too, say try that part number with a dealer.

    can't find new wear plates for my bar mower

    If North American mowers used the same parts, you could take dimensions of your old wear plates and see if www.cuttingcomponents.com has comparable and if they can ship to UK.
